Clube de Leitura APAC/Macau: a relevância da educação não formal a partir dos discursos dos privados de liberdade. Orientador: Alexandre da Silva Aguiar. 2023. 20 f. Trabalho de Conclusão de Curso (Graduação em Pedagogia) - Centro de Educação, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Natal, 2023.https://repositorio.ufrn.br/handle/123456789/56999Believing in the resocializing and humanizing potential of reading, this article seeks to grasp the importance of reading and non-formal educational practices for individuals deprived of freedom, based on the experience of the Clube de Leitura APAC/Macau (APAC/Macau Reading Club), listening to the individuals involved in this process. The club takes place at the Associação de Proteção e Assistência aos Condenados (APAC) located in the city of Macau, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, and this research presents reports from the recovering individuals participating in the project. These reports were obtained through the focus group methodology (ABRAMOVAY and RUA), giving us the opportunity to understand the collective thinking about the performance of the reading club through the dialogues of those who suffered punishment and who participated in the project between the years 2021 and 2023. The research is participatory and qualitative and also brings observations of experiences within the literary group, due to the fact that the author of this study is one of the extensionists who accompany the group. This investigation was guided by the following problematizing question: what do the speeches of those deprived of liberty, participants of the Clube de Leitura APAC/Macau, reveal about the impacts of education on the lives of those incarcerated? As a result, it was possible to perceive the environment as something significant for the construction of good pedagogical practices. It was also possible to observe the self-assessment carried out by the recovering children, where they addressed issues such as acquiring knowledge, reducing shyness with the strategy of reading aloud, improving communication and, above all, the exchange of knowledge between all participants. This made clear their perception of the importance of different opinions and interpretations.Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Brazilhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/br/Remição de pena pela leituraEducação não formalEducação PrisionalAPACbachelorThesis
